Apache Ignite can scale horizontally to accommodate the data that your applications and services generate. However, in practice, most of us cannot scale out a cluster instantly.

Serverless computing allows you to design and build scalable cloud-native applications without thinking about infrastructure provisioning and orchestration. With Apache Ignite, you can bootstrap an in-memory cluster in the cloud and access data 100-1000x faster than with disk-based databases.

Apache Ignite and GridGain can be used as a simple cache, an in-memory data grid (IMDG), and as an in-memory database (IMDB). These data management patterns can be combined with Ignite integration facilities to function as a Digital Integration Hub (DIH) for real-time data access across data sources and applications. Common uses for the DIH architecture include:

Networking is a core pillar of any distributed system and is responsible for cluster-node discovery procedures, peer-to-peer communication between nodes, and failure handling. Network architecture can greatly influence operational performance and efficiency.

Debugging distributed-system applications can be more complex than debugging traditional monolithic applications. As API calls jump across nodes in the cluster, it can be tricky to follow the execution just by analyzing application logs. Tracing adds a useful tool to the root-cause-analysis toolbox.

Growing customer traffic, the launch of new services, seasonal traffic spikes or a host of other load-related issues can slow down customer-facing applications, resulting in poor customer experiences. In-memory computing offers a solution to overcome performance-related challenges and deliver outstanding customer interactions.

Apache Ignite is an excellent tool for external RDBMS, NoSQL or Hadoop database acceleration and offloading. The Ignite in-memory computing platform can power real-time applications that need to process terabytes of data with in-memory speed. Join us for this webinar to learn about the various Ignite deployment options for database acceleration including:

Join us for a special webinar presented by Branimir Angelov, Co-Founder and CTO of Kubo, Software Architecture Consultant in Obecto, and Member of the Comrade Cooperative.

Many machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) platforms are slow in production environments. It can sometimes take hours or days to update ML models. This is a result of having the ML processing run on a different system from the operational transactions system in order to avoid a performance degradation.

In this webinar, Glenn Wiebe, GridGain Solution Architect, will introduce developers to Apache Ignite as an in-memory database (IMDB). He will review how an IMDB differs from a cache or an in-memory data grid (IMDG). He will discuss the key characteristics of an IMDB and also highlight core Ignite features and facilities.

Managing distributed systems can be complex and time consuming because there are numerous moving parts. Having a consistent set of tools can give a clear picture of how clusters are performing, when to take action and avoid potential problems, and how to optimize configurations.

Mythili Venkatakrishnan, IBM Distinguished Engineer, will discuss increasing market pressures in key industries such as banking which are leading Z platform users to leverage Digital Integration Hubs for flexible information flow between core transactional systems and hybrid cloud environments.

If your company is in an industry such as ecommerce, logistics, online learning, food delivery, or online business collaboration, you may be seeing a huge spike in your business which is straining the limits of your customer-facing or internal applications. If you need to speed up and scale out your applications, one of the fastest approaches is to deploy an in-memory data grid.

Join Denis Magda, Apache Ignite veteran and GridGain Head of Developer Relations, as he demonstrates various Apache Ignite capabilities you might have heard of or read about. Topics covered will include clustering, compute and SQL capabilities, data loading and streaming.

Apache Ignite’s ANSI-99 SQL support provides application developers a classical SQL database experience while enabling in-memory speeds at petabyte scale for a variety of workloads. Concise SQL syntax and availability of JDBC and ODBC drivers shields the complexity of Ignite’s distributed architecture from developers and allows them to easily manage and query distributed datasets.

When working with multiple data centers, it is important to ensure high availability of your GridGain cluster. The GridGain Enterprise and Ultimate Editions, built on Apache Ignite®, include a Data Center Replication feature that allows data transfer between caches in distinct topologies, even located in different geographic locations.

The Apache Ignite transactional engine can execute distributed ACID transactions which span multiple nodes, data partitions, and caches/tables. This key-value API differs slightly from traditional SQL-based transactions but its reliability and flexibility lets you achieve an optimal balance between consistency and performance at scale by following several guidelines.

Apache Ignite can function in a strong consistency mode which keeps application records in sync across all primary and backup replicas. It also supports distributed ACID transactions that allow you to update multiple entries stored on different cluster nodes and in various caches/tables.

Apache Ignite 2.8 includes over 1,900 upgrades and fixes that enhance almost all components of the platform. The release notes include hundreds of line items cataloging the improvements. In this webinar Ignite community members demonstrate and dissect new capabilities related to production maintenance, monitoring, and machine learning including:

Attendees will be introduced to the fundamental capabilities of in-memory computing platforms (IMCPs) in this Apache Ignite tutorial. IMCPs boost application performance and solve scalability problems by storing and processing unlimited data sets distributed across a cluster of interconnected machines.

Apache Ignite® and GridGain® allow you to perform fast calculations and run highly efficient queries over distributed data. Both Ignite and GridGain provide a flexible configuration that can help you make cluster operations more secure. In this webinar, we will cover the following security topics:

Change Data Capture (CDC) has become a very efficient way to automate and simplify the ETL process for data synchronization between disjointed databases. It is also a useful tool for efficient replication schemas. We will cover the fundamental principles and restrictions of CDC and review examples of how change data capture is implemented in real life use cases.

With most machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) frameworks, it can take hours to move data and to train models. It can also be hard to scale with data sets that are increasingly frequently larger than the capacity of any single server. The size of the data can also make it hard to incrementally test and retrain models in near real-time to improve business results.

Deployment models for Apache Ignite® and applications connected to it vary depending on the target production environment. A bare metal environment provides the most flexibility and fewer restrictions on configuration options.

To take full advantage of an in-memory platform, it’s often not enough to upload your data into a cluster and start querying it with key-value or SQL APIs. You need to distribute the data efficiently and tap into distributed computations that minimize data movement over the network.

Apache Ignite is a powerful in-memory computing platform. The Apache IgniteSink streaming connector enables users to inject Flink data into the Ignite cache. Join Saikat Maitra to learn how to build a simple data streaming application using Apache Flink and Apache Ignite.

If you experience limitations with the size, scale or performance of your relational database, it may be time to migrate to a distributed system. Apache Ignite is a distributed platform that can function as a database, providing both SQL and JCache APIs to work with your data.
